His career-best 68 rushing yards, including a 23-yard touchdown in the second quarter, as the Panthers ran out to a 20-3 lead.
The Cardinals came back to get it within a field goal by halftime nby continuing to get it to running back James Conner. He had 166 yards from scrimmage but left the game in the third quarter and didn’t return.
